I show another similar post about AI's and had the idea to find out how many of us were on Femara or/and Herceptin while recurence had happened. I was on Herceptin and Femara when recurence happened to me.

Konakat after recurrance you continued Herceptin or chanched it with anything else? Sorry I don't remember what treatment you are having now.

I stayed on Herceptin -- it was thought the tamox was not working and that I may still be getting a benefit from Herceptin.  I had my ovaries out and then started chemo again (taxol + carbo, then switched to Gemzar), kept taking Herceptin, and also added Zometa for a bone met that popped up.  So I've been on Herceptin for about 2 years now.
